Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs is an iconic American label with a reputation for classic design with a rebellious streak. Inspired by the idea that we are all "the star of our own movie", Marc Jacobs launched his eponymous brand in 1986; in 1987, he was the youngest designer to be awarded the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent, and has won a further 10 CFDA awards since. Offering an irreverent approach to ladylike style – "I love to take things that are everyday and make them into the most luxurious things in the world," he says – Marc Jacobs re-works classic silhouettes with bold prints and punkish details, while streamlined accessories and a strong beauty line-up round-off the covetable offering.
